📰 Team News: Argentinos Juniors
Sebastián Prieto (Metatarsal fracture), Juan Cardozo (Tear of the lateral meniscus), Érik Godoy (Hairline crack in the lumbar region) and Luciano Sánchez (Knee surgery) will not be taking part for Argentinos Juniors manager Cristian Zermatten.
It’s our opinion that Bichitos Colorados look set to opt for a 4-4-2 system for the game with Diego Rodríguez, Kevin Coronel, Francisco Alvarez, Tobías Palacio, Román Vega, Nicolás Oroz, Ariel Gamarra, Francis Mac Allister, Alan Lescano, Maximiliano Romero and Tomas Molina.
📰 Team News: Vélez Sarsfield
Vélez Sarsfield manager Gustavo Quinteros has multiple availability issues to deal with. Michael Santos (Sore muscles) and Santiago Cáseres (Cartilage damage) miss out here.
There’s a good chance that El Fortín could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Tomás Marchiori, Joaquín García, Emanuel Mammana, Valentin Gomez, Aaron Quiros, Christian Ordoñez, Agustin Bouzat, Francisco Pizzini, Claudio Aquino, Thiago Fernandez and Braian Romero.
✨ Prediction
We are of the inclination to think that Vélez Sarsfield and Argentinos Juniors should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two.
A draw is a real possibility, as we are expecting there to be little between them. We’re therefore expecting a very close game with a 1-1 score draw at the end of this one.
